Django And Jimmie Lyrics - Django And Jimmie - Merle Haggard

I'm a kid with a guitar 

Trying to play ?, when they ask 

Where does your style come from? 

I know what you mean 

'Cause I learned to sing 

Listening to blue, yodel number one 

We love Hank and Lefty 

Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, and Johnny Cash 

But if we had to pin point 

The start of who we are 

Or who we go by 

The Django and Jimmie 

Has Mississippi 

A young singing brakeman 

A jazz playing gypsy 

Might not have been 

A Merle or a Willie 

If not for a Django and Jimmie 

Through the twenties and thirties 

Jimmie sang his way to the top 

In spite of those old TB blues 

Django was a star 

He burned up a guitar 

With just two good fingers to use 

You can't turn back time 

Or put more sand in the glass 

But sometimes at night 

I close my eyes and go back 

The Django and Jimmie 

Has Mississippi 

A young singing brakeman 

A jazz playing gypsy 

Might not have been 

A Merle or a Willie 

If not for a Django and Jimmie 

It might not have been 

A Merle or a Willie 

If not for a Django and Jimmie
